The Volunteers Helned.

A good story is told here upon two old retired officers of the regular army. These two officers were well advanced in years when the rebellion began, and all though in active service during the war, were not specially distinguished. They have been members of the army colony here for many years, and before retire ment managed to continue on duty at and about Washington as members of boards and the like. At one of the monthly meetings and dinners of the Loyal Legion last winter these two old "Coburgers'' were present. Indeed, the Coburg family is always well represent ed at gatherings that are to be served with eatables and drinkables, and partic- ularly drinkables. Upon the occasion all luded to, during the progress of the speeches and songs, 1.-The Volunteers was proposed by gentleman who had achieved distinction in the volunteer army. "EWhat is proposed?'' inquired one of the old regulars of the other 'sWe are asked to drink to the volun- teers,' was the response. .'Well,'' re- piled the first speaker, i've of the regu- lar army can drink that. The volunteers helped us out good deal. Washinr- ton Letter.

Problem of Bottled Sugar.

The author of Under the Punkah" tells an amusing incident of his life in h. dia. He had given to tame monkey a lump of sugar inside a corked bottle. The monkey was of an inquiring kind, and the effort to get at the mystery-and the gar-nearly killed him.
 Sometimes, in an impulse of disgust, he would throw the bottle away, out of his reach, and then, be distracted until it was given back to him.
 At other times he would sit with a countenance of the most intense deiec- ton, contemplating the bottled sugar, and then, as if pulling himself together for another effort at solution, would sternly take up the problem afresh and gaze into the bottle. He would tilt it up one way and try to drink the sugar through the cork, and then, suddenly reversing it, try to catch theeugar as it fell out at the bottom.
 Under the impression that he could catch it by surprise, he kept rapping his warming to the pursuit of the revolving lump, used to tie himself into regular knots round the bottle. Fits of the most ludicrous melancholy would alternate with these spasms of furious speculation, and how the matter would have ended il is impossible to say.
 But the monkey got loose one night and took the bottle with him; and it has always been delight to me to think thai whole forestfuls of monkeys have by this time puzzled themselves into fits over the great problem of bottled sugar. Youth; Companion. @

Cremation Not Popular.

The progress of cremation in this coun- try as a means of disposing of the bodies of the dead is not very rapid. The com pany that was organized year ago, and that built the furnace at Fresh Pond, has had only about 100 subjects" during the year, and the average is about the same for the past month as for the eleven that preceded it. It is most noteworthy fact that nearly all the bodies disposed of in this manner were those of persons who directed this action in their last will and testament. Public sentiment is as yet decidedly in favor of burial; and, unless sanitary considerations become over whelming, it will doubtless remain so for a long time to come.-The Epoch.

The Official Ci~aretfe-

The habit of smoking cigarettes among public officials is alarmingly on the ill., crease. It is due no doubt to the fact that the cigarette affords a means of sat isfying an appetite or craving for tobacco, and affords enough pleasure for the smoker to last for the time it is wanted. "A cigar or a pipe is too much of a smoke" said an official talking to an American representative about the mat ter, ''in the office, where you are liable to be called on at moments notice by a lady or summoned into the presence of a superior. In an emergency of the kind the little thing can be thrown aside. The cigarette, you see, is cheap. A good cigar less than ten cents i'll price is not considered the thing to be seen in the mouth of an official with some authority. The cigarette also affords a little pleasur4 and it is very convenient.
 The same argument was found to pre- vail among all the officials who were seen using the little article. Army officers as a rule were sloticed to be ad- dicted largely to the habit of using the cigarette. They found it cheaper in the long run than cigars. It has now be- come common among them to offer a friend cigarette. If refused.5 the reply is: ''Well, used to smoke cigars, but find the cigarette is more convenient. !" Nearly all the young men, and, in fact, not a few of the old men in high social life can be seen smoking them. At any one of the receptions it is customary now to see groups of men in the gentlemen's room puffing away vigorously on the little delight. ' It is rarity to see a cigar used on such occasions. A large tobacconist here stated in conversation to-day that the sale of cigarettes was enormous in this city and was not con fined 10 any class. He stated that the government clerks bought largely oi them, as they considered it much cheaper for them to use on the sly during office hours. - Washington Cor Baltimore l American. tAhs

New Kind of Brick.

A new variety of pressed brick, made of ashes and cinders, is now being manu- factured in San Francisco. Says The Examiner, of that city: 1.-The result is brick of unusual solidity. handsome in appearance, of 2 most durable character and made entirely without burning or baking. All manner of experiments have been tried with the bricks in the way of subjecting them alternately to intense cold and heat, but without any injurious effect. The best quality have been boiled for hours, without cracking or showing any signs of dissolving. ."-New York Tribune.

The Pinsk Marshes.

There is in Russia district as large as Ireland, known by the above title, and wholly impossible from the size and number of its morasses, in addition to which it is covered with an impenetrable forest of undergrowth and tangled jun gle, and consequently was utterly useless. At present, 1000, 900 of acres have been reclaimed, and during next year it is pro posed that 300, 900 more shall be taken ill hand by means of 120 miles of canals and dikes. It is further reported that upward of 500, ,000 acres of once useless bog are now good meadow land, while 2,090,00 acres of impenetrable jungle have been brought into cultivation. In addition to all this, the engineers have built 179 bridges, sunk 577 wells, and surveyed and mapped 20,00O square miles of land.
 If such scheme as this can be so sue cessfully carried out by Russia, why should not some such plan be tried il lrelandY A scientific contemporary. gre ferring to this question, says: '.The amount of bog ill Ireland would, oi course, be child's play to Pinsk marshes for somehow we are always confronted with bog as the chief source of Irish diff entities. If its annihilation will pay s( well ill Russia, it ought to do so equally in Ireland; nor should we forget than al undertaking of such magnitude woul( bring immediate and constant work iron the very outset to half the able bodied population of the country" The sug gestion is worth the attention of al interested in the prosperity of Ireland Chambers Journal
